Medieval marvels

A Unesco World Heritage Site, Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town is known as the “medieval pearl of Europe”. It is ringed by one of Europe’s best preserved medieval fortifications – almost two kilometres of city walls, with 20 towers – which has kept it remarkably well intact.

We’ll lead you along the narrow, cobbled streets, past medieval homes and churches, to the 15th century Luhike Jalq Gate, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Raekoja Plats – the square which has been the heart of the city since markets started here in the 11th century. Surrounded by colourful merchant houses and dominated by the Gothic town hall, it’s a stunning spot. The square is reputed to have been the site of the first Christmas tree back in 1441, and is presided over by a huge pine tree and busy festive market at Christmas time.

A day of discovery

A population of just half a million makes Tallinn easy to explore. The city is alive with fashionable, stylish restaurants and boutiques, as well as artisans practising centuries-old crafts. When you visit you’ll be able to admire the work of glassblowers, weavers and potters and buy their wares. Explore Peter the Great's baroque Kadriorg Palace, home to a collection of foreign art and surrounded by woodland, or enjoy panoramic views of the city from the Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform. The area is the ideal spot to people-watch in the outdoor cafes and patisseries, or you could even head to the beach.
